Sacramental Journey Offerings

To help the parish recover some of the costs associated with making the Children’s Sacramental Journey available, we invite the following offering from families who are enrolling:

For families already contributing to the Parish through the Parish’s Planned Giving Programme: we suggest an offering of $100 (which covers the cost of the books for each of three Sacraments for which the children are preparing [Penance, Confirmation & Eucharist], children’s Missal, medal, certificates, printing).

For families not currently contributing to the Parish through the Parish’s Planned Giving Programme: we suggest an offering of $200 (which covers the cost of the above-mentioned resources, and also helps the parish meet other expenses associated with the journey, e.g. wages).

These suggested offerings are per family [a family with more than one child enrolled in the Sacramental Journey at any one time makes just one offering]. Please note that the suggested offering is for the entire journey [i.e. July 2014 to May 2015]. Any family who might not be able to make the suggested offering, for whatever reason, is asked to speak with Selina or Father Adrian so that we can be aware of the situation. Financial reasons will never preclude a child from receiving the Sacraments.
